(11/03/2023) The Center for Engineering, Mathematics, and Science (CEMS) program at Blaine High School (BHS) integrates Project Lead the Way (PLTW) curriculum into its engineering and computer science programs.

On Oct. 26, the school had the opportunity to showcase the CEMS program to PLTW leaders, community partners from local businesses and area school districts looking to add PLTW. During the visit, students, teachers, administrators and community mentors discussed how PLTW has enhanced the CEMS program. The guests also visited a handful of classrooms to see the partnership in action. View photos from the visit.

PLTW is a national curricular program that creates engaging classroom environments by empowering students to develop and apply in-demand, transportable skills by exploring real-world challenges.

BHS has about 600 students in the engineering program, which includes around 125 seniors. In May, BHS was named a PLTW Distinguished High School for the sixth consecutive year. 

More about Project Lead the Way 

Through pathways in computer science, engineering, and biomedical science, students not only learn technical skills, but also learn to solve problems, think critically and creatively, communicate, and collaborate. PLTW also provides teachers with the training, resources, and support they need to engage students.
